Posted on: 01/14/2012 Hi My is 17 in normal stream of education. He seemed fine but has a painful calf whenever he walks. He has hydrocephalus too. He is now wanting to get help in learning to drive. However I have no means to support that. Any advise will be helpful. He is bow leg but presumably if you ask your doctor for advise about correcting they will direct you to the appropriate surgeon. The other is stretching leg while she is resting. My son is not too concern whereby I did not seek any help in the area.

Posted on: 02/01/2011 I stay in Gurgaon, India. My daughter was diagnosed of achondroplasia just 10 days before her birth. She is 3.5 years old now and goes to school-playgroup and thoroughly enjoys it. We plan to continue her normal education.
Though there are no immediate concerns except the height factor, we realize that we should be providing her with some tools and equipments, that make her independent and facilitate her in leading a normal life. For example – a] something that continuously strengthens her knee, b) somethings that helps her manage her basic hygiene requirements, c) somethings that helps her in the bathroom/kitchen, d) somethings that help her with the electric switches, e) somethings that help her climbing stairs and f) any other tool/equipment which would have come in handy to anyone in the group.
I would really appreciate if anyone can share their experiences with these. I am happy to share my specific experiences, if required.
Regards,
Pankaj

Posted on: 06/29/2010 A very fine article on achondrplasia. Nevertheless,I would have preferred a greater supplementation with clinical photographs and radiographs for driving home the important aspects of this common proble. If desired, I can share some of the clinical pictures with your readers please. Dr (Prof) Suraj Gupte, MD, FIAP

Posted on: 05/24/2010 Hi, I'm Virginia and i have a 11 month old baby who has been diagnosed with Achondroplasia. My husband is also a dwarf, but I love my family. It is complicated to have baby with Achondroplasia, however I have overcome my fears and have cared for him over a year now. My baby is very handsome, and we have got involved in a club and LPA. Kindly comment if you too would like to join. |
